Wahaj Ali, as we have gathered up to episode 3 of the drama, plays the role of Roomi. The character is based on the real life freedom (for Bangladesh)/ guerilla fighter (for Pakistan) who is a member of Awaami League and is a strong advocate for the rights of the people of East Pakistan. He constantly butts heads with Sonia (Maya Ali) and his portrayal of Roomi is a treat to watch. And as it would turn out, we’re not the only people who think so. Since Jo Bichar Gaye aired episode 3, celebrities have been singing praises for Wahaj Ali for his performance.

She captioned the post, “Acting is all about action and reaction. Wajju @wahaj.official this wasn’t possible without your support and your brilliant performance.”
